Johannes 7,12

Doubt

10 Men etter at brødrene hans hadde dratt opp til festen, dro han også opp, ikke åpenlyst, men som i hemmelighet.

11 Så lette de jødiske lederne etter ham på festen og spurte: «Hvor er han?»

Blant folkemengdene var det mye hvisking om ham. Noen sa: «Han er en god mann.» Andre sa: «Nei, han villeder folket.»

13 Likevel snakket ingen åpent om ham av frykt for de jødiske lederne.

14 Men da det nå var midt under festen, gikk Jesus opp til tempelgårdene og begynte å undervise.
